HEALTH REFORM: Snowe Backs Finance Bill -- With Reservations

October 13, 2009 - 12:57pm

Sen. Olympia Snowe said she will vote for health reform in the Finance Committee, although she recited a long list of concerns she wants to address before she casts a "yes" vote for final passage on the Senate floor. But on balance, she said, history is calling for action.

She likened the status quo in health care to sailing the Titanic, but added that unlike the captain of the Titanic, we know there's an iceberg ahead.
